Ballmastrz: 9009

Cool. Time for me to catch a princess.

Help, I need to be caught.

Won't you catch me?

Please, choose me for catching.

Chaz.

- Hey, there. Ready to catch me? - I sure am.

Let's see what you're made of.

Oh!

Oh no.

I just mean Ace.

My name is Ace Ambling.

Listen, hero, I don't know about you,

but I can play all night.

And I can't wait to be caught.

Catch me, Ace. Catch me, Ace.

Wake up, Ace. Wake up, Ace. Wake up, Ace! Wake up, nerd!

- Luna. - Aah! Thanks for the drool.

What? Huh?

Come on, we're late for practice.

Okay, this play is so simple.

- Ready, everyone? - Ready.

Here we go.

Oh!

What the hell was that?

He was up all night again playing his dumb game.

It's not dumb.

Trying to interface with some video-game sprite named Luna?

Yeah, that's not dumb at all. - She's a princess.

Ace, video games are for losers

who can't win anything in real life.

So, in other words, they're perfect for Ace, am I right?

If you and Baby Ball

can learn how to control forming Ballmaster,

our team can start winning games.

Then, you won't need a video game to meet girls.

They'll be throwing themselves at you.

That's not why I play, "To Catch a Princess."

You don't understand me at all.

Are you gonna finally catch me tonight, Ace?

I, uh, could let you go. We could play again.

I'm tired of playing games.

Let's make it real. Meet me in person.

In real life?

I've seen you play with the Leptons.

I know you look just like your game character.

And I look just like mine.

Aah!

I don't know.

I'll do it.

But I can't go as Ace. She's expecting Power Ace.

Oh, oh, yeah, that's right, baby.

I'm all ball.

Whoa! Cut it out!

Wait, let me get this straight.

You kidnapped me so you could form Ballmaster

and meet some video-game nerd

you met on the Internet in person,

at night, in a public park?

Aw, don't worry. She's a beautiful princess. Yeah, in the game.

In real life she's an unattractive older man...

If we're lucky.

He's probably some kind of hideous pervert

who's gonna offer you candy spiked with a knockout drug

and then... - Look. See? I told you.

Yowza.

Uh, hello.

I was starting to think you wouldn't show up, Ace.

Luna.

Actually, I'm Ace... The one down here in the crotch.

What's up, baby?

Seeing you in person makes me feel so strange.

Hey, hey, whoa, hey, what's going on?

Hey, quit poking my back.

What's going on?

I didn't mean to fool you, Luna.

But this is who I am when I'm not a Ballmaster.

Any chance you got a sister

or a skanky friend with no standards.

So, you two combine to form Ballmaster?

I'm so sorry.

Do you hate me now for lying to you?

Oh, Ace, don't be silly.

This is exactly what I was planning for.

Wait, I'm sorry. Planning for... what exactly?

Get them, boys!

Aah!

All right, you little twerp,

you're not gonna be late for practice today.

Help, I need to be caught.
